Guard keys everwhere
20 of my 25 prisoners keep trying to escape! I have checked and all areas are secure. Ive done some digging and when i check the contraband tab it seems the ONLY contraband anyone has is guard keys! When i highlight most of these keys they are just coming from nowhere! Im not sure if this is a new feature where its not showing where they got the contraband from unless certain conditions or if this is a bug and my prisoners are just being given guard keys
I did a shakedown and they found 121 guard keys even though i only have 20 guards!

mmmh, yes, this is pretty much for only 20 guards. Are your prisoners fighting against your guards? The prisoners can steal the keys of guards while in a fight.

Are you using the "Extra Reputations" mutator? One of new reputations included in the mutator is called Escape Artist where a prisoner will constantly try to escape. Another one is called Pickpocket where a prisoner can steal keys directly from a guard without he/she noticing. One more reputation in the mutator is called Connected where a prisoner can create contraband inside your prison without stealing it or smuggling it.

i havent noticed any of my guards getting knocked out so theyre shouldnt be that many stolen key.
I do not use any mutators. Hopfully its just something conflicting!

It's one of your mods. I've seen tons of issues like this, always mod-related

Try going into your save file and see if any mutators are enabled.

I have already tried disabling all my mods. That changed nothing. I have also checked and no mutators were enabled

Are all your guards pissed off? Because then they just hand out keys like santa claus.

I just made a new game and the same thing has been happening so hopefully a re-install will fix it

You should have tried making a new prison first. Sometimes bugs stick to a single save.

welp the re-install did absolutely nothing so id assume its a game issue
Domena100 Jun 28, 2018 @ 1:31pm 
Or a SAVE/PRISON issue.

do you have staff needs on? you should hover your mouse over a gaurd and ssee if in read text it says pi/ssed off which means there needs are not being taken care of which as the last guy said they will hand out keys and take bribes and they wont search as well meaning they wont always find everything. Best of luck!
